Polyether silicone oil in the textile industry
Knitted fabric finishing: In Ningbo, Zhejiang and Shantou, Guangdong, over 50 tons of polyether modified amino silicone oil with an ammonia value of 0.6 and a viscosity of 990 mPa · s were used to process over 4000 tons of cotton, polyester cotton, and polyester knitted fabrics. The finished knitted textiles have a soft hand feel and a hydrophilicity of 0.5-1.0 seconds, fully meeting customer requirements.
Improving fabric fastness: Adding polyether modified amino silicone oil to the fixing agent can prevent the fading of reactive and direct dyes during dry and wet friction of the fabric. For example, when dealing with textiles that require high color fastness, the use of this polyether silicone oil can effectively maintain the brightness and stability of the color.
Improving fabric softness and hydrophilicity: Treating fabrics or fibers with amino modified polyether silicone oil containing ester groups can make fiber fabrics both super soft and hydrophilic. In some fabric treatments that require both soft touch and good moisture absorption, such as sportswear fabrics, this polyether silicone oil can play a good role.
advantage
Improve fabric feel
Softness: Polyether silicone oil itself has the characteristic of good softness, and the fabric treated with it has a soft and smooth hand feel. For example, in the finishing of cotton fabrics, the use of polyether silicone oil can make the cotton fabric more skin friendly and greatly improve wearing comfort.
Fluffiness: The fabric treated with polyether modified amino silicone oil has extremely low surface tension, and the finished fabric exhibits superior hand feel, with both good softness and fluffiness, making the fabric more three-dimensional and comfortable.
Smoothness: It can form a smooth thin film on the surface of the fabric, reducing friction between fibers and giving the fabric a smooth feel. In the finishing of silk fabrics, polyether silicone oil can enhance the luster and smoothness of silk, and improve the quality of silk.
Improve fabric performance
Hydrophilicity: Polyether silicone oil can increase the moisture absorption of fabrics, making them easier to absorb and dissipate moisture. In the finishing of towel fabrics, the use of polyether silicone oil can improve the hydrophilicity of towels, making them more absorbent and achieving better wiping effects.
Antistatic properties: It can reduce the surface resistance of fabrics and minimize the generation and accumulation of static electricity. In the finishing of synthetic fabrics, polyether silicone oil can effectively solve the problem of static electricity generated by synthetic fabrics, avoiding the adsorption of dust and discomfort caused by close fitting.
Easy to clean: The surface of the fabric treated with polyether silicone oil is easier to clean and stains are less likely to adhere. In daily clothing organization, using polyether silicone oil can make it easier to remove stains and maintain the cleanliness and beauty of clothing during cleaning.
Wrinkle resistance: Fabrics treated with polyether/epoxy silicone oil not only have a soft hand feel, but also have good wrinkle resistance. Even after multiple washes and wearing, the fabric can still remain flat and reduce the occurrence of wrinkles.
Washing resistance: The fabric treated with polyether/epoxy silicone oil has good washing resistance. Even after multiple washes, the softness and appearance of the fabric can still be maintained, extending its service life.
Improve dyeing effect
Anti shrinkage: WOS-01 is a specially modified polyether siloxane copolymer that provides excellent substrate wetting and anti shrinkage properties. In the process of textile dyeing, it can prevent shrinkage caused by uneven surface tension, making the dyeing more uniform.
Improving leveling and gloss: WOS-01 reduces the sensitivity of paint airflow, prevents the generation of Bernhard vortices, and improves leveling and gloss. In the production of printed fabrics, the use of this polyether silicone oil can make the printed patterns clearer, more vivid, and have better glossiness.
Environmental safety: Polyether silicone oil has physiological inertness, is non-toxic and non irritating to the human body, and has a high biodegradation rate. In the process of textile finishing, the use of polyether silicone oil does not pose any harm to the environment and human health, and meets environmental protection requirements.
